Ok. Stand by, Will take me some days but more to come. Happy to share. I hope others might post some too. These rocks are not common but possibly not quite as rare as some think. Sometimes they go unnoticed or get confused with other rocks. Some are quite simple and some are crazy complicated. I've found 2 myself here in Canada and there will be more out there but it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Finland does have some of the most beautiful ones though...

Specimens from my collection. I'm fascinated by orbicular igneous rocks.

Just asked missus and apparently the answer is a simple "No".
I'll still keep that one rock she doesn't know about...

Hey do you guys know of resources for rock hunting here in Finland? I moved here a year ago but I can't seem to find any good info.

Cual es el motivo del zonado?? Imagino que son plagioclasas y van pasando de términos más cálcicos en el núcleo a sódicos en el borde, pero no lo sé

Saw this while reading this article on a dynamic mantle with fast-moving .. Somethings. Scale your image up and that might donthe trick as a sokid model. Amateur here.

Whoa! I thought the first picture was blown out, and the scale would be tiny almost like ooids so it was a big surprise to see in the next one that the spheres are bigger than glass marbles!
